My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Indonesia | Tuesday, June 11, 2013 | 5 photos

I am a young oceanographer, working in a developing offshore survey company. I am also an emerging master of hydrography student, starting 2 September 2013. So, why am I still applying to this scholarship at the first place?

Well, I did apply to the scholarship for the grant. I do have a burning passion in traveling. I even chose my job and my master’s degree in order to have free traveling experiences across places, which I consider as the 'real salary.' But then a letter came to my house, telling me that I was accepted in their course. I would have to choose then, whether it was a go, or no go.

After giving much serious thoughts, I decided to just go. I wanted to withdraw from this race, but after reading my journal once more, I just couldn’t. It was one of the best compositions I have ever made.

So here I am, with my photos, and their story. Enjoy.

PS: This isn’t my original essay. I changed it.
